Xue Ling caught Xi’s hand and took advantage of his brief daze to turn him over and straddle him. He sat on the other party’s waist, bent over, and lowered his head so that his forehead rested against Xi’s, their noses rubbing together. His gaze had the power to make the man crazy. “When you’re clear about what exactly it is you want, we can continue looking into what the relationship between us is.”
Xi placed one hand against Xue Ling’s back, resting the other on his waist. “You’re not going to teach me?” His breathing was unsteady. Xue Ling sat on him and could clearly feel that certain parts of his body had markedly changed. “You don’t want to know what the consequences are of allowing me to learn by myself.”

They stared at each other for a long time, then Xue Ling suddenly laughed and said, “There’s no harm in teaching you. You’ve helped me a lot, and obtaining some benefits is only natural.”
His fingertips slid along the man’s neck. His touch was light, but his every action was extremely provocative. “But after this time, things will be clear between us. Anything I agreed to before, or whatever you’ve done, will all be void after this.”
Xi’s gaze darkened. “You want to get rid of me just like this? You’re willing to sacrifice something just for the sake of leaving me?”
Xue Ling shook his head. He was amused as he said, “Where did your thoughts go? Even if I throw you off, where would I go? Would you agree to separate from me?”
Xi shook his head.
Xue Ling licked his lips: “I just want to clear up the accounts between us so that we can treat our relationship more simply from today on.” As he spoke, he reached out to pull off Xi’s clothes.
Xi’s robe looked very complicated, which always highlighted the abstinence on his face, as though he was completely separate from certain base desires.

That was true. After all, when could one ever see a god turn bewildered by **? He had always been a cold, calm god standing high up above. Xue Ling quite liked seeing his face stretched taut. Being able to tease someone like this to the point where they were flushed all over brought Xue Ling great pleasure.
In fact, he really enjoyed that there were little differences in the man’s temperament in every world. It meant that he could always experience something fresh and new every time he seduced him, and other than the fact that the other party always forgot about him, Xue Ling was exceptionally satisfied about everything else.
Of course, this did not make him give up his intention of recalling who this person was. After all, if they had been involved with each other from the beginning, remembering everything was the only way to balance out their relationship. Perhaps this was also why the man had always refused to tell him, and insisted that he learn everything himself. His strength was slowly recovering, and it wouldn’t be long before the memories of what existed between them were no longer secret.

Xue Ling tugged, thinking that he would be able to remove a layer of Xi’s clothing, but unexpectedly, his hand came up empty after his action as Xi’s clothing disappeared. He narrowed his eyes, and gave the man beneath his body a profound look. “You know what I want to do?”
“You wanted to take off my clothes, right?” The man’s response was calm. Despite the fact that the roots of his ears had already turned red, his tone and expression still appeared to be completely under his control. “The clothing of a god is not something that just anyone can remove.”
Xue Ling made an ‘oh’ sound, then raised his eyebrows. “Since it’s like that…” He smirked, “Then I’ll take off my own clothes. Does that count as returning the favor for you?”
He held Xi’s hand in his own and brought it with him to pull off the tie holding his sleep robe together. Xue Ling smiled as he slowly, little by little, allowed the robe he was wearing to fall from his shoulders. This action was particularly provocative; he was nude under the robe, and his slender but strong body was slowly exposed to Xi’s gaze bit by bit, revealing smooth lines of muscle and attractive white skin bathed in the glow from the flickering fireplace flames. As his robe slowly slid downwards, Xi’s breathing turned ragged.
Xue Ling slowly withdrew his arms from the sleeves of the robe, and the opened robe draped loosely on his body, half concealing, half revealing his nakedness. He was still seated on Xi’s body, and he could feel the reaction from his lower body pressing against him from behind, but Xi was not the least bit shy or embarrassed as he simply watched Xue Ling. Although he was breathing rapidly, he seemed to have no intention to make a move on his own.
Xue Ling leaned down, and the two of them were pressed skin to skin. He lowered his voice, and whispered into Xi’s ear, “Then let me teach this god about exactly what it is that you want.”
It snowed in Buspoka that night. It drifted down and covered the entire city as the palace issued a search warrant, and hotels in the Capital were all searched, but no one was caught. In the morning of the next day, there was a lot of talk in the city. Rumors said that the palace’s treasure vault collapsed last night, and His Highness the Crown Prince had been unable to catch the thieves. People were in an uproar, and for some reason, they all began to worry about their own homes.
If these thieves could come and go freely from the palace, what would they do if they were targeted?
At this time, Kent was arguing with his mother, who was also the Queen of this country. “If we don’t search the entire city now, nobody will be able to catch them after they escape!”
The Queen appeared to be in a bad mood. She spoke angrily, “I handed over the entire palace to you last night but you were still unable to catch them. What’s the point in looking for them now? Would you be able to catch them even if you found them? What if it causes a riot?! Her Highness Murphy is not their opponent, so what do you want to do?! Toss your life away?!”
Kent became even angrier. He didn’t think things would be like this either. Who knew what happened to that Ink Flame Wolf after he terminated the contract with Ivan?! He became so powerful! “If mother hadn’t poisoned Ivan behind my back, he would not have come all this way to the palace! Exactly whose fault was this! Mother, how can you still sit here so calmly!”

“Ha. Compared to Ivan, that person is more concerned about you killing his parents and causing his entire race to be destroyed.” The Queen sneered, “They can even come and go freely in my palace; is there any use being anxious? If they want to kill me, I wouldn’t be able to escape no matter where I go. Only, I’m merely the recipient of the gift, and he is likely to be more focused on your death. This has nothing to do with me.”
